What they don't understand is that no one on the left really has a champion. At this point we don't care if you lose, we just want you to fight.
She came in on some, "I don't give a fukk even if I am a one term Rep! I'm going to go hard!"
I think someone convinced her she can do more by being a team player and career politician. It's a shame.

She's a brilliant politician, but I don't think she could have ever predicted the sheer stone-walling she would get in office.

AOC became the number one target for the GOP and Dems alike - and I think she genuinely wants to get more done. There aren't other people trying to run in her place that can outdo her in any stretch.

I don't even think it's so much "career politician" as it is working toward a goal.

Yes, if you are going to come in like you are a change agent kamikaze all up in the media acting like, "I'm different." you got to go all the way. She half-stepped in that regard. Now that she's playing nice she is going to be less effective as that change agent because you showed your cards to leadership. They gonna plan accordingly, they know what she's about. She would have been better off playing nice, getting leadership comfortable with her and then flipping the script.
I do think she is doing what she thinks is best and her heart is in the right place but strategically I think she has messed up. She has time to recover but time is running out. She has to stand up to Dem leadership on something sooner rather than later.

She's saying AOC is a liar, won't return her calls, won't give her the time of day.



Jimmy salivating.

She was also spreading the conspiracy that AOC has secret money and that she supposedly was part owner of the bar she used to work for. It looks like Paula Jean has fallen into a grievance spiral and just wants to pull everyone she resents or blames for her failed political career down with her.

She also said Justice Dems funneled all their resources into AOC before her primary. I thought that was well known?

Most of them weren't all there to begin with - hope is a strong bandwagon - but Paula Jean Swearengin (one of her cousins was my professor in undergrad) is a loon.

She's right up there with a lot of those rudderless, ideology-less M4A people that exist just to exist.

AOC acted like she was a live wire willing to shun her re-election, decorum, and the Dem party to get things like M4A voted on. Bernie never came with energy like that, he's a career politician after all. That was a polite and genuine plea from S. Sarandon.

I don't think it applies. Warren got them for accusing a friend of sexism. AOC hasn't "snaked" a fellow pol and someone she called a friend. She just so far hasn't fulfilled her campaign promises. As long as she is in office she still has that opportunity to follow thru and fulfill all the progressive energy she got elected with. But until she does that people are going to ask what's the plan? What do you think AOC will ultimately do? :jbhmm:

i guess thats where we get into trouble as usual, looking for saviors and end up turning humans into infallible gods :yeshrug:

If we gave out snake emojis to pols not fulfilling their campaign promises it would be way more common. It's reserved for disloyal back stabbing people. No names needed. lol
